Definitions

  • This invention relates to mineral wool barriers, especially fire barriers, and in particular to methods for fixing such barriers to a supporting structure.
  • Fire barrier products are well known. These are usually installed in the form of a hanging curtain of mineral wool which is continuously supported and secured to a support structure such as timber roofing, metal decks or concrete soffits.
  • the system for fixing the curtain to the supporting structure generally employs metal angles and straps to secure the insulation with nuts and bolts.
  • the conventional system is time consuming for those carrying out the installation. Nevertheless, fire barriers of this type have been on the market for at least 20 years and fixing systems of this general type have been used to date.
  • the mineral wool is of necessity of relatively high density (eg about 100 kg/m 3 ) .
  • the curtain is commonly used as a fire barrier in large cavities and must therefore be relatively long. As a result the curtain tends to be heavy and it is important that the fixing system is sufficiently secure for such a heavy product .
  • Cormet Insulation Hold Strip is a galvanised steel strip having pre-punched arrows in the strip which may be folded outwardly and passed through a mineral wool quilt in order to hold the mineral wool quilt in position.
  • These arrows are useful for maintaining the position of low density, light mineral wool, for instance in cavity insulation, simply to prevent sagging.
  • this type of system would be wholly inadequate if used with the heavy duty curtains required for fire barrier products.
  • CA 1,197,064 This also describes a metal strip having pre-punched barbs or arrows which can be folded outwardly to an angle of around 90° with the strip.
  • a mineral wool quilt may be impaled on the arrows.
  • this publication describes the purpose of the arrows as prevention of sagging of insulation.
  • washers may be used on the heads of the arrows and that the arrow may be bent over the washer to secure it in position.
  • a product of this type suitable for prevention of sagging of light duty mineral wool would be wholly inadequate for use in a system which is required to suspend a curtain of mineral wool from a supporting structure.
  • a mineral wool barrier comprising a curtain of mineral wool having density of at least 40 kg/m 3 which is arranged substantially vertically for at least a portion of its length and which has a top end fixed to a supporting structure by a support system comprising a support plate which is secured to the surface of the supporting structure and which has at least two support tongues which are integral with the support plate and which protrude from the support plate, and the mineral wool curtain is positioned so that a first surface of the mineral wool is in contact with the support plate and the support tongues pass through the mineral wool curtain, and the support system also comprises a holding plate having at least two apertures through each of which a support tongue passes and which is positioned in contact with the second, opposite, surface of the mineral wool curtain, and the tongues are angled so as to secure the holding plate onto the surface of the mineral wool curtain.
  • the invention also provides a process of fixing a mineral wool barrier comprising providing a curtain of mineral wool having a density of at least 40 kg/m 3 , securing to the surface of a supporting structure a support plate which has at least two support tongues integral with the support plate and which protrude from the support plate, positioning the mineral wool curtain such that a first surface of its top end is positioned in contact with the support plate and so that the support tongues pass through the mineral wool curtain, positioning a holding plate having at least two apertures in contact with the second, opposite, surface of the mineral wool curtain so that one support tongue passes through each aperture, and bending the tongues toward the outer surface of the holding plate so as to secure the holding plate onto the surface of the mineral wool curtain.
  • the barrier is generally a fire barrier, and in particular is provided in a large cavity.
  • the mineral wool curtain has density of at least 40 kg/m 3 . Preferably this is at least 80 kg/m 3 , more preferably at least 90 kg/m 3 . It can for instance be up to 400 kg/m 3 but is generally not more than 200 kg/m 3 .

  • the curtain is arranged substantially vertically for at least a portion of its length, generally the whole of its length.
  • the curtain often has a length of at least 2m.
  • the top end is fixed to a supporting structure by the support system discussed below.
  • the bottom end may also be fixed to a supporting structure.
  • the support system can be used to fix a further curtain to the bottom of the first curtain.
  • the supporting structure can for instance be timber roofing, metal decks or a concrete soffit.
  • the support plate may have a straight cross-section but is preferably of L-profile cross-section. In this latter case one arm of the L-profile is fixed to the supporting structure and the other arm is provided with the support tongues .
  • the support plate is fixed to the surface of the supporting structure using any suitable securing means.
  • the support plate is provided with at least two support tongues integral therewith. These protrude from the support plate and are generally provided by pre- punching the tongues in the support plate and bending the tongues outwardly so that they extend at an angle of from 80 to 100°, usually about 90°, with the surface of the support plate from which they were punched.
  • the mineral wool curtain is impaled on the support tongues.
  • the support tongues may be provided in any suitable shape. They can be essentially rectangular but may be provided with a barb or arrow, or preferably a smooth rounded end, to facilitate impaling the mineral wool curtain. This is particularly useful when the mineral wool is of high density and, as is often the case. with fire barrier mineral wool curtains, is provided with reinforcing metal netting on each surface.
  • the support tongues prefferably be provided with holes at regular intervals along their length to enable the installer to assess how far onto the support tongues the mineral wool curtain has been impaled.
  • the support system also comprises a holding plate. This has at least two apertures positioned to correspond with the support tongues so that a support tongue passes through each aperture.
  • This support plate may also be of straight cross-section but may alternatively be in the form of a channel .

  • the support plate may be used to support two parallel mineral wool curtains, one on each side of the support plate and substantially coextensive.
  • alternate support tongues are bent outwardly in opposite directions so that a series of support tongues protrudes from the support plate on each side of the support plate.

In position B it has been placed over the support tongues and pressed against the mineral wool. We find that shaping the support plate as a channel increases its rigidity and aids in fixing the plate to the mineral wool. The support tongues may then be bent so as to lie flat along the surface of the holding plate 6.
